Osteopathy - Postnatal
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a beautiful approach to the harmony and health of the living body.
Osteopathy can facilitate and support this process by restoring movement, undo patterns of holding and bracing and acknowledge emotional components manifesting somatically in our bodies.
As an Osteopath I use gentle, hands-on treatments to recreate your body’s natural equilibrium, relieving pain and discomfort. Each treatment is unique resulting from a systematic assessment and diagnosis. Osteopathy helps to restore the optimal function of your body, allowing it to heal itself naturally.
How can Osteopathy support your recovery after giving birth?
Recovering from childbirth can take time, regardless of how smoothly the delivery went—and even more so if the birth was complicated. Giving birth is a physically demanding experience for every mother, and the recovery process can sometimes be overlooked in the midst of caring for a newborn.
However, the postpartum period is an ideal time to address any residual discomfort, as a woman’s body is often highly responsive in the weeks following labour.
Osteopathy can help you regain your strength and health, making it easier to meet the demands of new motherhood. Osteopathy can help you with:
- Post-natal check-up to support your well-being
- Rebalance any strains from pregnancy, birth and handling baby
- Nervous system regulation
- Coming home to your body
Also, if you’ve had a long or challenging labour, postnatal treatment can be particularly beneficial. Osteopathy can:
- Speed up your recovery by helping your body recover from the physical shock of birth
- Prevent long-term back and pelvic issues
Please note that treatment may leave you feeling a little tired afterward, so I recommend avoiding vigorous exercise for 48 hours following your appointment.
Typically, a treatment plan involves 2-4 sessions.

A springtime (re)introduction to Moon Wise Woman Practitioner, Isabella Norman.
Isabella is reflexologist with specialist post-diploma training in Facial Reflexology, Auricular Reflexology and Pregnancy Reflexology.
You can find her at Moon on Saturdays and during the week – she has appointments available tomorrow (Monday).
Over to Isabella 👇
I first came across reflexology when pregnant and was amazed at how treatments could have such a relaxing and calming effect on my mind and body.
Now, as a qualified reflexologist, it is wonderful to be able to use reflexology to help support the well-being of people at various stages of their lives.
I am passionate about helping women to carve out time for themselves and their well-being.
Often, the default position for many of us is to ignore stress and our own health needs until problems become evident. I believe that regularly ‘checking in’ with your body and taking time to relax can have numerous benefits.
Reflexology treatments allow space for a focus on relaxation and all important ‘me-time’.
Having seen the effects of reflexology first-hand in private practice and through volunteering at a major London hospital, I am an advocate for this gentle holistic approach to improving well-being.
I offer foot reflexology for all ages, as well as specially adapted treatments for those in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.
I also incorporated elements of her foot, facial and auricular reflexology training into two new offerings: the ‘Head’ and ‘Heart’ Sequences. Each sequence with a specific focus, these multi-modality reflexology sessions aim to maximise the effects by treating you from ‘top-to-toe’.
Outside of practising reflexology, I love nothing more than walking with my family on long hikes across the countryside, holidays in Italy and the smell of strong black coffee first thing in the morning.
